The third semester brings together Business Environment and Strategic Management, Operation Management, Business and Corporate Laws, and Entrepreneurship. Students also complete one specialization course, one elective, and the Attachment (Internship).
The fourth semester includes Business Research Methods and Business Ethics and Corporate Responsibility. Students take two further specialization courses and another elective.
The final semester also contains a Seminar in Specialization Area conducted by the college and the three-credit Graduate Research Project (Dissertation).
Research therefore appears as a formal part of the MBA rather than only as an assignment within individual subjects.
Rajarshi Janak University lists five specialization areas:
Marketing courses include Consumer Behavior, Advertising and Sales Promotion, Service Marketing, Digital and Social Media Marketing, Customer Relationship Management, and Applied Marketing Research.
Finance includes Investment Analysis, Corporate Financing Decisions, Financial Institutions and Markets, Financial Derivatives, Capital Markets and Behavioral Finance, and International Financial Management.
Accounting, Information Technology Science, and Human Resource Management have their own sets of specialized courses covering advanced accounting, auditing, analytics, cybersecurity, enterprise systems, talent management, compensation, employee relations, performance management, negotiation, and learning and development.
Students also select elective courses during the third and fourth semesters.
Third-semester elective options include:
Fourth-semester options include Commercial Bank Management, Insurance and Risk Management, Real Estate Management, and Tourism and Hospitality Management.
These electives allow students to add study outside their principal specialization.
The MBA includes an Attachment (Internship) in the third semester carrying three credit hours.
Students work in a business organization for eight to ten weeks and prepare an Attachment Project Report. Internship evaluation is divided among three components:
The report is assessed by an internal examiner appointed by the college and an external examiner appointed by the Dean.
Academic assessment is divided equally between internal and external evaluation.
Internal assessment carries 50 percent of the final grade and covers attendance, presentations, group discussion or class participation, class tests, and term papers. The semester-end examination conducted through the Office of the Dean carries the remaining 50 percent.
Students must pass the internal and external components separately. Those who do not satisfy the internal requirements receive Not Qualified status and cannot sit for the semester-end examination in that course.
Students are required to attend at least 75 percent of prescribed academic activities to qualify for semester examinations.
For the MBA degree, students must complete all required courses and projects and obtain an aggregate CGPA of 3.00. All program requirements must be completed within six years from initial registration.

These campus arrangements complement an MBA curriculum that already requires discussion, presentation, project work, research, practical assignments, seminars, and internship.
The MBA curriculum identifies career directions in corporate management, entrepreneurship, consulting, government, and nonprofit organizations.
